The Town of Islip in Long Island voted unanimously to ban new large-scale battery energy storage facilities over 600 kilowatts per hour, citing fire safety concerns despite updated state fire codes aimed at mitigating risks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Local opposition in Long Island creates a barrier for expanding large-scale battery storage despite statewide safety upgrades. If you develop energy storage projects in US municipalities, expect growing local regulatory risks that can override state codes.
